tip #53 question

I believe O'reilly's has it,or any auto parts store. At least they do here in Tn.
 
Looked online at the local NAPA store and didn't see it but that doesn't mean they don't have it. Thank you sir I will check O'reilly's.
 
When mine was leaking,I used my 48" belt sander from my contractor days,flattened it,and it works like a charm. If you don't have one[most people don't] a machine shop can resurface it,or you can try the high-temp epoxy. Lowes may have it as well.
 
(quoted from post at 18:37:22 03/26/15) Where can I find the high temp epoxy? Nagging exhaust leak driving me nuts. Thanks, Mike

I tried to post a link to my thread "#4 Exhaust Erosion" and could not, but did copy the great advice of Bruce (VA) below.

I googled the products and found both at Oreilly's Auto Parts for about 7-9 bucks.

Get out the hi-temp metal epoxy. (Not JB Weld) VersaChem's exhaust manifold repair, or ThermoSteel, is said to be good to 2000 degrees. Clean the area real well with brake cleaner, put a little epoxy on it, put some wax paper over it and bolt down the manifold. After it dries take off the manifold and take a die grinder and clean the epoxy that might squish into the port. Look at the manifold, again around # 4. If it’s pitted & burned, it isn’t going to seal. Time to surface it or get a new one. (from the pic, yours looks ok) Do not double the gaskets! The gasket has two pieces, left & right (or front & back.....whatever) Use hi-temp Permatex or even Copper coat. Make sure the surface is squeaky clean!
 
Thank you sir. Found an O'rielly's over in Mexia Tx. right across the street from Tractor Supply who happens to have manifold gaskets and muffler clap. Thanks again for your help and thanks to Bruce for the 75 tips!!
